THE families of two young recruits at Deepcut Barracks will see Army reports into their deaths today.

The Board of Inquiry investigations have examined the events leading up to the deaths of Privates Geoff Gray and James Collinson more than seven years ago.

The recruits, both 17, were found dead within six months of each other.

Their deaths followed those of two other recruits at the Surrey barracks, which is to close by 2013.

The parents of Ptes Gray, from Seaham, County Durham, and Collinson, from Perth, Scotland, hope some questions will be answered by the reports, but are renewing their calls for a full public inquiry.

Pte Gray's father, also called Geoff, said: ''I would hope that someone is actually brought to account.

''Whether it was suicide or whether it was murder, someone is responsible for those cadets' deaths.

''I would hope that the Army would grasp the mettle and say: 'We're responsible for this'.''

Pte Gray died at the Surrey base in September 2001 from two gunshot wounds to his head.

An open verdict was recorded after his inquest.

Mr Gray, 45, of Hackney, east London, has always maintained that his son's death has never been properly investigated and said of the Board of Inquiry report: ''It's no substitute for a public inquiry.''

He said he and wife Diane, 44, were also concerned about the shortness of the document.

''We've been waiting for this for an awfully long time. They have taken over 40 witness statements and yet this report is only going to be 80 pages long,'' he said.

''It's just astonishing that it's been condensed so far down. They can't have put them all in there.''

Colonel Simon Doughty, chairman of the Board of Inquiry, is to meet the Gray family in Westminster where he will hand the report to them in person.

He then travels to Scotland, where he will meet Pte Collinson's parents at a Perth hotel.

Armed Forces Minister Bob Ainsworth will make a statement on the two reports to the House of Commons on Thursday.

Jim Collinson, Pte Collinson's father, said: ''I don't think we will ever get proper answers until we have a proper, independent public inquiry.

''There is no way the Army is going to admit to fault, or admit they had a place that was unruly and unkempt.

''But I will keep my fingers crossed. We will see what happens with the report.''

Pte Collinson was found dead in March 2002 with a single gunshot wound. He had been on guard duty at the barracks. An open verdict was also recorded at his inquest.

All four of the recruits who died at Deepcut had gunshot wounds.

Pte Sean Benton, 20, from Hastings, East Sussex, was found dead in June 1995, and Pte Cheryl James, 18, of Llangollen, Clwyd, died there in November that year.

A verdict of suicide was recorded after the inquest into Pte Benton's death, with an open verdict recorded at Pte James' inquest.
